Soups on Hocke‪y‬ Soups on Hockey

On today's abreviated and late getting out show I will be talking all the NHL bets I like for tonight's slate of games, and also look at the Oilers first two games vs the Canucks and a little preview of tonight's game vs the Canadiens.

It's finally here!  Tonight is opening night for the 2021 NHL season!  It's only 56 games and it's going to be a lot different, but we have hockey!  In this episode, I debut a new segment on the show, I had to get into the Pierre-Luc Dubois trade chatter, I look at all the divisions in the NHL and how I believe they'll shake-down, of course I spend the majority of my time on the Canadian division, and I take an even deeper dive looking specifically at the Oilers.  Also, all my prognostications for the season.  Award winners, Cup champs, I call everything I could think to call!  It felt like a pretty strong show, almost a grand re-opening so to speak.  I've done some shows to start my "3rd season" already, but this one really felt like the kick-off show, so give it a listen!  I'm sure there'll be stuff you agree with, and no doubt some stuff you disagree with.  I just hope it's entertaining and insightful.

Is all that money you've raked in over the pandemic burning a hole in your pocket?!  I hear you!  Want to make even more?!  Well then this podcast...probably isn't the one you should listen to!  But if you are just looking to have some fun and put a few bucks down on some bets for the upcoming season, then this IS the podcast for you!

Well...that sucked.  My thoughts!

First show in over two months!  Think of it as an Christmas gift.  I'm sure you'll get better gifts than the gift of ME, but it's the thought that counts!  NHL is back so I take a quick look at how I believe the division's will play out.  The World Juniors are about to start, so I take a trip down memory lane looking at how I remember the last 30 WJC's AKA since TSN got the broadcast rights.  Then I look at Team Canada and how I see the tournament finishing.  Finally, of course I talk Oilers.  Something to listen to as you're attempting to ignore/avoid your family, or perhaps because of the restrictions you don't have much company so allow me to be your company!  Either way, hope you enjoy and hope everyone can make the most of what will likely be a s****y holiday season.  Hang in there, we're almost through all this shit.

LOADED show today!  I take a look at the crazy mess surrounding the Vegas Golden Knights.  Will Pietrangelo work?  Will Lehner work?  Will trading core players out to give UFA's monster deals work?  Are they tampering?  There is just a TON to get into with the Knights!  



I look at every team and how they look going into next season at this point (a lot can change in the next 2-3 months).  



I zone in particularly on the seven Canadian clubs and how things are looking for them so far this off-season.  



And as you know, there is one Canadian club I always give the most time to and that would be the Edmonton Oilers.  Not only do I look at where the Oilers are at, but I take a deep dive into the intriguing storyline that will surround Oscar Klefbom, Caleb Jones, and the Oilers protection list as we are now under a year from the expansion draft taking place.  Finally with the Oilers, I admit something that I recently feel I got very wrong.  Even though I may still turn out to be right on it, I feel as though I wasn't and I wanted to take some time and not only correct that, but tell you why even though I'm not the biggest believer in what this team will be in the future, it's a future that excites the hell out of me!
